I've been told twice that I look like Goldie Hawn. Both comments ocurred nearly 30 years apart. I don't know what to read into that, but I'm not going to complain as they were both meant as compliments.

Best Cathy reference ever was on the Drew Carey Show. A hospitalized Oswald says "I think I've had enough medicine - I finally get Cathy. She thinks she's fat!"

@H_H: When I practiced, I usually did so on my own and rarely went to classes. One of the few times I did, I modified a pose because my shoulders were screaming in pain. The instructor barked at me "Right now your body is telling you this is too hard! IT'S NOT!!!" I never went back to that studio.

Siddha Yoga is an organized religion akin to, say, the Catholic Church. It's not the same thing as going to the Y and spending some time in downward dog.

This reminds me of the guy who sued his public library because his sons suffered emotional distress when they found a lesbian sex guide.

@quietgrrrl: Wow. Someone clearly didn't proofread that comment.

@la.donna.pietra: I figured as much, too.

@LazyHippo: I actually have no idea, but 20 minutes is definitely on the high end of what's a reasonable amount of time to spend talking about them.

@IBleedGlitter: The High Priestess of Tinsel: Haven't they recently found evidence that the moderately overweight actually live longer than the underweight/very slim/I don't remember exactly how it was worded?

"Stay classy"? LOLOL. Pot, meet kettle.

@PommeDeReinette: Yeah, I realized while reading other comments here that it wasn't my changing body that was the source of stress. I wasn't bothered by it at all until my classmates started in with the crude "jokes"* and older men started in with the sexual attention.

@lorax42: I had no idea! That just strikes me as so bizarre. Didn't people get pissed when they realized they were dying and say "God damn you, you said I would get better!!!" I would have.

@DinaRonson : Elizabeth Cady Stanton: Thirded. I thought it was fog and was beautiful. Then I realized it was smoke and almost started coughing just looking at it. :(

@Stephanie should like a ride in the TARDIS: That is one thousand kinds of messed up. I can't even believe that shit. :(

That's cool that you get to a member of the royal family even after you dumped the prince's ass. I'm a yank, I just don't get this stuff. ;)
